Wax’s Consumer Banking Survey

The last year and a half hasn’t exactly been kind to banks … or consumers. Even as jobs and the market rebound, most families still feel the squeeze of the recession. To see how satisfied and comfortable people now feel with their banks, Wax Custom Communications conducted a consumer survey of men and women, ages 25 to 54, with incomes $50K and up. Here’s what we found.
